Ah, thank you! Yes, there was something wrong with the font.

Yes, I have it set to WYSIWYG, but I think that refers only to color options, not font spacing. As you suggest, a monospace font may be the best workaround.

@Claudia-Frank Yes, I’m absolutely positive it’s the same file I worked on. I have about 4-5 tabs open in notepad; each for separate things I write. Neither of the other tabs have my lost text in them. As for the USB, I don’t use one for back up, though for situations like this, it looks like I may have to start doing that, hah… But yeah, I don’t have any backups I’ve created myself. Just that I figured with the crash, notepad would put my unsaved text in the backup folder, but seems like it didn’t.

But from what I can tell, my text is lost and there’s no way of getting it back, so looks like I have to suck up the lost and start over. =(

Regardless, thank you.

NPP determines the language from the file’s extension. If you open a .cpp file, it’s content will be highlighted according to C++ rules.

If you start a new file, NPP has no means to find out what highlighting rules to apply. In this case you have two options: a) Select your Language from the Menu labeled “Language” or b) save your file with an appropriate extension.

@Kuroi-Kitsune

@Gabe-and-rhys

it depends on how you “execute” your code.
Some additional infos how you do that?

@Claudia-Frank Thanks Claudia. I just send you some very powerful energy for your creativity and to enhance your life in every way !!!

@Harry-Dirg

could it be that it tries to access files on d: which are automatically opened once npp started?

If not, software like procmon can be used to find out which file gets accessed. Maybe this gives
an indication what is going on.

@Phil-Richcreek

Did you see guy038’s info about this here?

@dail Thank you VERY VERY MUCH.

@Fredrick-Bass

the first thing you should note is that this is a notepad++ and
not a whatever development language forum.
Also this is the case, we are not taking this to serious but to
make it easier for one to help you, you should consider to give as
much informations as possible. Question which comes instantly in to my mind
when reading your post is something like - what programming language is he using??

Do you agree?

Cheers
Claudia
